Required qualifications

• 8+ years in ML engineering, data engineering, or software engineering, with substantial recent time at a staff/lead level of technical scope.

• Production experience with Azure ML: jobs, pipelines, compute, model registry, endpoints, MLflow tracking.
• Strong SQL and Snowflake experience, including performance and cost tuning on large tables.
• CI/CD experience with Azure DevOps (or equivalent) for ML workloads.
• Demonstrated experience building ML monitoring and observability in production — not just standing up a dashboard, but defining what to measure and what to do when it moves.
• Working knowledge of explainability methods (e.g. SHAP, permutation importance, forecast decomposition) and the judgment to know their limits.
• Time series forecasting experience: hierarchical forecasts, intermittent demand, proper backtesting and evaluation design.
• Clear written and verbal communication with non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Direct experience with o9 Solutions, or comparable planning platforms (SAP IBP, Kinaxis, Blue Yonder).
• CPG, retail, or consumer goods demand planning and supply chain context.
• Databricks/Spark, dbt, Azure Data Factory, Power BI.
• Feature store, containerization, or infrastructure-as-code experience.
